Chelsea agreed an improved package for Nicolas Jackson to join Bayern Munich on an initial loan with a mandatory obligation to buy tied to a minimum number of appearances. The loan fee is 14.3m (16.5m euros) with a compulsory buy clause for 56.2m (65m euros), taking the deal above 70m. Personal terms for a five-year permanent contract at Bayern are already in place. Jackson joined Chelsea for 32m from Villarreal in 2023 and scored 30 goals in 81 matches. Chelsea signed Facundo Buonanotte on a season-long loan from Brighton for a 2m fee. Jackson received multiple red cards and reportedly lost the trust of manager Enzo Maresca, prompting his move. UEFA rules allow loanees to face their parent clubs, so Jackson could face Chelsea on 17 September.
Chelsea have agreed an improved package for striker Nicolas Jackson to join Bayern Munich. After an on-off transfer saga, the 24-year-old is set to complete an initial loan move for 14.3m (16.5m euros), which crucially includes a mandatory obligation to buy for 56.2m (65m euros) through a minimum number of appearances. It's a deal on slightly improved terms as the one initially agreed and now worth in excess of 70m.
Personal terms are already in place for a future five-year permanent contract for Jackson, whose deal with Bayern was in doubt after Chelsea instructed him to return when Liam Delap was injured in Saturday's Premier League win over Fulham. The Senegal forward joined Chelsea from 32m from Villarreal in 2023 and scored 30 goals in 81 matches. To boost their own attacking options, Chelsea have signed Argentine Facundo Buonanotte, 20, on a season-long loan deal from Brighton for a 2m fee.
Jackson was then sent off within four minutes of coming on as a second-half substitute in the 3-1 group-stage defeat by Flamengo at the Club World Cup, Fifa's expanded competition which Chelsea ultimately won. Strikers Liam Delap and Joao Pedro arrived to replace him during the tournament. Multiple sources with knowledge of the situation said Jackson ultimately lost the trust of manager Enzo Maresca and some of the hierarchy at Stamford Bridge, prompting Jackson to seek a move.
